#1840 - We in Dazhangshu are rich and powerful, and we have no shortage of ammunition!
Office of the Chairman of the Management Committee of the Camphor Tree Base.
Tap-tuk——
"Enter."
The judge walked in from outside, "President, I heard that a helicopter will be sent to Oil City tomorrow?"
The second uncle looked up and saw the judge, and immediately guessed the purpose of the judge's visit.
The Judge probably wants to return to Oil City.
If you think about it carefully, there are many people and complicated situations in Oil City, and the third brother also needs some capable subordinates to help, so it is okay to let the Judge and the others go there.
"Yes, the buffer city in Oil City needs to be rebuilt. The ice there is too thick and needs to be blasted with explosives, so a batch of black powder will be sent over tomorrow."
The judge walked up to the second uncle and said, "We have already helped to formulate the details of the Northwest Operation Plan. There is not much point in us staying here. I want to go to Oil City to help the captain."
"Okay." Uncle nodded happily and agreed.
After all, the judges and others belong to the military department, and their transfers are directly arranged by the third brother.
To be precise, Second Uncle did not actually have the right to command them.
The judge was a little surprised when he heard this that the president agreed so quickly.
"Well, if you have any questions about the Northwest Operation Plan, you can use the radio to communicate with us. Who will lead the team to Oil City?"
The second uncle replied, "We will set off early tomorrow morning. Lao Bi from the helicopter brigade will be in charge. He will decide who will lead the team. Let's gather in front of the helicopter pad in the second outer city tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you."
From a distance, Lao Bi saw the judges approaching, and he hurried over to greet them.
"Dear instructors, the president has already told me that Huachen will take you to Oil City later."
Hua Chen, who was standing next to him, looked at the judges with admiration, raised his hand and nodded.
"Okay, when will we set off?" asked the judge.
Lao Bi looked at the black powder being loaded onto the helicopter, and there was probably still a small half left.
"It will take at most half an hour. Once all the explosives are moved up, we can set off directly."
He looked at the German Shepherd behind Ant and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to take this dog with you too?"
The ant touched the little black head and said, "Wherever I go, it goes."
Lao Bi originally wanted to say that pets were not allowed on helicopters, but he felt that even if he said that, he would make an exception for ants in the end.
Although Ant and his men do not have any subordinates in the Dazhangshu combat system, their ranks are incredibly high. They are several high-level instructors of the entire Dazhangshu base combat system.
"Yes, okay, but you have to be careful, the helicopter will fluctuate a lot when flying."
"I know." The ant replied calmly.
He could take Xiao Hei to Palau, which is thousands of kilometers away. What's more, it was only a three-hour helicopter flight, which was a piece of cake.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
The Judge and his companions boarded the helicopter with their luggage. The Big Mac that had driven over from the trading market stayed at the headquarters base temporarily. The Big Mac had shown some shortcomings in Palau last time, so it happened to be kept at the headquarters base for modification.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Huachen took off in the helicopter and flew towards the oil city.
In the helicopter, Xiao Hei was lying on the window, looking at the earth covered with white, quietly without making any noise.
The judge twisted his wrist and made a crackling sound. "When the snow melts this time, we will fight against the northwest. Will you bring Xiao Hei with you then?"
The ant turned his head and looked at the judge, "Take him with you. Xiao Hei has a keen sense of smell and can definitely serve as a military dog."
"That's true. When I went to Palau before, there were zombies approaching. Xiao Hei started barking before I saw them." The Jackal said with a smile.
"Well, that's fine." The judge nodded and glanced at Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei's fur is shiny and his whole body is black. He is wearing a military dog tactical vest and looks mighty and majestic.
After the blizzard, mountains, lakes and buildings were all covered with snow.
Looking down at the ground from the air, it is impossible to find the road. Some of the former mountain peaks have turned into snow peaks.
The unchanging white is the main color of the earth. Without the navigation of electronic beacons, they would probably get lost.
Three hours later, they arrived in Oil City.
Ju Tianrui came to greet them as soon as possible, and sent a team to transport the explosives to the warehouse, and had some of the explosives transported to the buffer city and handed over to Jie Changshan and his team for blasting.
After Uncle San saw the Judge and the others, there was no need for any further words between the brothers.
After hitting each other on the shoulders, the judge and the others took their luggage back to the dormitory to pack.
Buffer city.
After Xie Changshan got the explosives, he immediately asked Fang Jingxin to clear out the nearby workers. They had cooperated for the past two days and did not clear the ice layer below four meters, but instead focused on clearing the snow above the ice layer.
Blasting is a common occurrence in the construction industry.
Blasting is also a special type of work in the construction industry. Blasting workers are responsible for using explosives to break up hard materials such as rocks for subsequent construction.
Different blasting methods are used in different situations.
Ding Wu from the infrastructure brigade had extensive experience in blasting before the end of the world. He had people drill holes in the ice. Each hole was the same size and three meters deep, and the distance between each hole was consistent, forming a blasting array.
Many workers who were originally working on the construction site were driven away by supervisors.
Many people were talking about it and asking what had happened.
"What's going on? Why do you want to leave here?"
"Yeah, don't we have to work today?"
The supervisor picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Demolition work, please leave quickly and in an orderly manner."
After hearing the supervisor's words, the confused workers took their tools and hurried away obediently.
The blasting operation was extremely powerful.
The ice is so hard that if you are close to someone and are hit by it, it is very likely to pierce your body. The unlucky person may even be taken away directly.
The workers and machinery around the blasting area were moved to other places in the buffer city, far away from the blasting area.
Ding Wu directed the drilling rig on site and drilled more than a dozen holes.
They will just test it for now, and once the results are tested, they will add or reduce the amount of explosives to ensure that each blast can achieve the best effect.
The buffer city is huge. They are conducting tests on the east side of the buffer city, and work in the other three directions is still ongoing.
An hour later, the explosives were placed into the hole. The long blasting line was hundreds of meters long. Ding Wu pulled the blasting line behind a heavy truck.
Pick up the walkie-talkie and contact Xie Changshan.
"Chief Engineer, we are ready and can start blasting at any time."
"Okay, wait for my order." Xie Changshan left a word, then contacted the captain of the guard on the wall of the trading market and asked him to start sounding the whistle to warn.
drop--
A long, sharp whistle pierced the sky, and everyone stopped what they were doing after hearing the alarm.
The drilling rig retreated to the cleared ground not far away. When the driver in the vehicle heard the alarm, he immediately bent down and covered his ears.
The whistle sounded for two minutes.
Xie Changshan issued the order to explode.
Ten seconds later.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a burst of dense explosions coming from the buffer city, which became one after another.
Crash~
The ice cracked in all directions and spread in all directions.
Bang bang bang!
The shattered ice flew out and hit the wall of the trading market not far away.
The ice hit the harder concrete wall and shattered into powder.
A few minutes later, Xie Changshan climbed up from under the wall of the trading market, picked up a telescope and looked at the blasting area.
The originally frozen surface was now cracked.
The ice layer that was originally solidified into one piece cracked into pieces of ice of different sizes.
Done!
He excitedly raised his right hand and waved it vigorously twice.
The effect seems to be very powerful. With explosives to blast the ice, they can save at least 80 percent of their time.
After the ice layer broke, although there were still some larger ice blocks, they could be directly shoveled onto the truck with a forklift, while some smaller ice blocks were handed over to workers to carry.
"Mr. Fang, get the transport team in and start moving the ice."
"Liu Yu, the workers in the north have arranged their retreat."
"Ding Wu, take the demolition team and go to the north to carry out the blasting."
"yes."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"yes."
"yes."
Xie Changshan stood on the wall of the trading market and conducted remote dispatch and command from a high place.
With repeated blasts, the speed at which the ice was cleared increased dramatically.
They blasted the explosives one by one in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
While Ding Wu was blasting on the east side, the construction site on the east side was suspended, and the snow on the ice layer in the other three directions was quickly cleared, leaving the ice layer below.
After the blasting on the east side was completed, while the blasting on the west side was carried out, the broken ice on the east side began to be cleaned up.
This cycle forms a working rhythm.
At this pace, in just one day, the space cleared in the buffer city exceeded the area cleared in the previous few days.
Night falls.
Dai Jiusheng dragged his tired body and returned to the trading market in a pickup truck.
Today he was responsible for buffering the transport convoy outside the city. There had been bombings all day, and the earth-shaking sounds attracted many zombies.
As a result, these security guards are extremely busy today.
He alone emptied five magazines.
With the buffer city as the center, a group of zombie corpses formed two kilometers away.
There are many more zombies coming today than before, at least tens of thousands of them.
The buffer city wall has just been rebuilt. In order to prevent the zombies from getting too close, and the wall is only eight meters high, most of the guard members have gone down the wall and ran outside the buffer city to shoot the zombies.
He led the team to the North District training ground to gather, recorded the amount of ammunition consumed today, applied for ammunition replenishment for tomorrow, and then left the North District.
North District Administration Building.
Ju Tianrui held the ammunition list in his hand, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.
Just today, 100,000 rounds of ammunition were consumed.
One hundred thousand bullets is not a small number, which is equivalent to one ton in weight.
If this continues, one million rounds of ammunition will be needed in ten days.
Why are there still so many zombies?
Ju Tianrui sighed and walked towards the Oil City with the ammunition consumption list.
He had to report this situation to the minister. As far as he knew, the total amount of ammunition in the oil city was less than three million rounds, and it would not work if they continued to consume it at this rate.
We have to think of other ways.
As the temperature rises, more and more zombies appear outside.
Humans will freeze to death in extremely low temperatures, but zombies will not.
In addition, there are more than 200,000 people in the oil city and the trading market, which is like the fattest piece of Tang Monk's meat for the zombies in the doomsday.
It can attract zombies from 200 kilometers away and has a very wide coverage area.
Henan Province is a populous province, with a population of nearly 100 million before the end of the world.
Now the temperature is still minus 38 degrees Celsius, and most of the zombies are frozen. The zombies that have come here are only a small part of those that are not frozen.
As the temperature rises, it is conceivable that more and more zombies will be attracted.
Once the temperature returned to zero degrees, all the zombies were thawed and the zombies in the water became stronger.
When that time comes, that will be the most troublesome time.
Ju Tianrui hurriedly found his third uncle and handed him the ammunition consumption list.
Uncle San took the ammunition list and checked it.
A video was still playing on the computer. Ju Tianrui glanced at it curiously. The video showed the effect of today's blasting. It was obvious to the naked eye that the area cleared today was quite large!
Nearly 4,000 acres of ice were cleared in one day.
Even in the afternoon, the blasting speed was too fast and the convoy's capacity was insufficient, so another 5,000 people were temporarily recruited, and 2,000 vehicles of various types were used to transport the ice. Even bicycles and carts were used.
Nearly 4,000 transport vehicles of various types were deployed to barely keep up with the speed of the explosion.
Among the 4,000 vehicles, nearly 1,000 are owned by the Oil City, and the remaining 3,000 are owned by the residents of the trading market. Among these 3,000 vehicles, there are all kinds of crooked and uneven ones, and as long as they have wheels, they can be counted as a car.
It doesn't matter whether you have a pickup truck, dump truck, motorcycle, tricycle, bicycle, or cart.
The total population of the trading market is more than 200,000, but 3,000 vehicles only account for one percent of the market.
That means only one person out of a hundred has a car.
Bang!
Uncle San placed the ammunition list on the table, and his fingers touched the table, making a slight sound.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Uncle San raised his head and looked at Ju Tianrui.
"I suggest using zombie attracting potion to lure the zombies away. The ammunition consumption is too high now. There is no need to waste ammunition at this time. We still have to fight with the Northwest Base later." Ju Tianrui replied.
"oh?"
Uncle San smiled and asked, "Do you think we are short of ammunition now?"
Ju Tianrui nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, we are short of ammunition. We need 100,000 rounds of ammunition a day, which means we need a million rounds in ten days. One third of the stock is gone. Moreover, when the temperature rises, the number of zombies will increase.
We still need to save bullets to fight the Northwestern forces. Besides, we also need to prepare more ammunition. When the snow melts, there will probably be another wave of crazy zombies."
Uncle San tapped the table with his fingers.
"Since the establishment of the Civil Armed Forces Department, has there been any large-scale combat drills?"
“Um, no, but there is practical experience in defending against swarms of zombies.” Ju Tianrui replied.
Uncle San added: "We rely too much on zombie potions!"
"Since the zombie attracting potion was developed, we have been using it to deploy zombie attracting potions, and then the team goes to clean up the battlefield. The bullet consumption is reduced, but if this continues for a long time, the combat capability will definitely decline!"
"We have to plan for both sides of everything. What if the zombie attracting potion is no longer effective?"
"The Operations Department at least has a lot of actual combat experience, but the Civilian Armed Forces Department has been established for so long, and there has not been a large-scale actual combat. Don't you think this is a good opportunity to strengthen the actual combat experience?"
"But what about the ammunition?" Ju Tianrui asked with some concern.
Uncle San waved his hand.
"Don't worry about the ammunition. I will contact the headquarters base and ask them to send one million ammunition tomorrow, specifically for actual combat exercises."
"This kind of large-scale combat not only improves your marksmanship, but also coordination and so on. It will definitely be used in future battles with the Northwestern forces."
Uncle San's tone was calm, but the content of his words was extremely arrogant.
"Also, we should rotate the militia brigades in the trading market, the patrol teams, and the combat brigades in the oil city to practice with them! We should enhance their combat capabilities!"
"The Dazhangshu headquarters base is wealthy and powerful, and has no shortage of ammunition!"
This is his confidence, and it is also the confidence given to him by the several ammunition production lines at the headquarters base.
This is the powerful logistical capability formed as the industrial chain of the Dazhangshu base becomes increasingly complete.
